Chapter Text
I’m vaguely aware of the shorter man next to me, instead focusing on the absolute beauty that is the sea. I feel a slight breeze, watching the blue waves lightly kiss the edge; it’s a beautiful sight, light blue washing over deep brown. I like being on the sea again, I don’t hate the land, anything but. I can have an amazing time on land, although, would you prefer being home or somewhere vaguely adjacent?
This is my ship and I am the captain.
I move my gaze from the sea,still listening to it’s beautiful sound. Noticing one of my most loyal crewmates, TeamKalal, help one of the other crewmates load the cannons, although it may not be needed, it's useful in case of an emergency. It's a sweet sight, seeing one of my veteran crewmates help the newers.
“CALEB?” I call out his name, watching as he instantly comes to attention.
“AYE, CAPTAIN?”
“How long has it been since you last slept?”
“Maybe a day, maybe more.”
“Take a break, TeamKalal.”
I watch as Kalal finishes his task before walking to his chambers, looking graceful for the break given by me. I feel, bad, honestly. He shouldn’t wait for me to tell him to rest. I’ll let him know that when he’s back, but I refuse to interrupt him. He deserv- needs the break.
I hear a light ‘hmmm’ from the man next to me. I look down, seeing the purple demon’s tail flick.
“Wemmbu, what are you mad at this time.”
“I’m not mad.”
“Yes you are. Your tail is flicking, you can't keep eye contact with me for more than two seconds, and you keep adjusting your stance.”
“I hate you.”
“It’s mutual.”
I carry myself forward. Roughly a day until we reach the shore. Usually I’m happier to get a restock on supplies, but after we reach the shore, my crew will be heading home, and I’ll be going back to the sea, with none other than Wemmbu.
